Why do buildings seem to lean away from your camera when you take pictures of them? Or, if you’re standing at one of the corners, why does the building seem to be crooked in any pictures taken from that angle?
We know that building walls go straight up and down. They are parallel to each other and at a right angle to the ground. But, when we take pictures of them, the walls in the pictures don’t look that way.
Well, there is an explanation. In this article, I’ll do my best to break the technical reasons down into something even I can understand. After that, I’ll tell you what you can do to correct it.
One of the problems is that you can’t see the “crooked” walls in your camera’s viewfinder. It doesn’t show up the same way as it will in the picture.
